Aside from exercise & diet (and until nanotech, gene & stem therapy catch up) I believe various compounds exist today that can make a dramatic impact on our health, such as greatly reducing our risk of disease, helping to slow, maintain if not reverse some aspects of aging, and even going as far as enhancing our own physical & mental abilities. In order to keep up with the latest in bioresearch I take several compounds, which in my opinion is based on reasonable scientific studies. This list changes as new research is done daily and to keep my life more interesting. Also some dosages will vary based on what is needed depending on my day. I started a simpler version of this regimen over 15 years ago and have been blood testing regularly since.

Caution: This is my own personal regimen. I strongly recommend everyone do their own research and consulting their healthcare professional before taking anything listed below. Also this list is not complete I still have much to add.

Food is a dual edge sword. While the wrong diet greatly increase your risk of disease and death, the right one can extend your life and improve your overall health. In the last 100 years we have been able to identify the health benefits to certain foods as well the negative impacts of others and the best ways to prepare them.

O_O holy sh*t, you guys know your drugs hu? well I have a few questions for you life, if you would indulge me ;D. Firstly can you give a description of what some of the brain nutritions do? it is also my understanding that nootropics can have some emotional side effects, what do you about this? nootropics and other drugs seem quite intresting, I assume the learning drugs aim to improve plasticity? anyways im intrested in learning more so if you could help me out it would be much appreciated

Life:I live in the gulf coast and very close to Louisiana (as in Cajun Seafood), and my diet is a little heavy in sodium. I've always been interested in finding natural high sources of Potassium to counter-balance the high sodium intake. I know about bananas, but the high sugar and carb in them makes a little less than ideal. Any advise?

Carrot juice or potassium salt.

Hi LM, thanks for your post.I have a question:Hydergine 2.25-5 mg (w/f)means with or without food? because manufacturers say take without food.thanks

I take it with food because in my case it causes mild nausea if i don't, otherwise take it on an empty stomach.

Some of us are not lucky enough to look like THE ONE, Trippy. So we have to find an avatar to hide out the physical challenges inheredited with the wrong genes. I figure I'll be beautiful enough after I get Singularized. Then I won't have any thing to hide!!!

LifeMirage, Amazing. Is this a full-time job? I assume you must take a complete daily inventory of your stock for an accurate accounting of what you have and what you're running low on. Besides the amount of time it must take to measure, regulate, purchase and research all of those supplements, it must take a substantial chunk out of your day just to ingest all of them. I try to take a multivitamin tablet daily. I have to talk myself into it, as the pill is large--which almost makes me gag. With this in mind, I wonder how you manage to get it all down? This is a serious question. I shudder to think of the cost, but if this regimen ehances the quality of your life, then I'm sure it's well worth it.

It certainly feels like one.....yes i check and double check to insure the amounts are accurate. I take them throughout the day in both pill and powder form...a protein shake here and a water filled drink there. I do truly feel great on them and it took years to get here.

I'm going to be testing N-Acetyl-L-Carnitine for a month or so (however a 750mg 120ct bottle lasts me), planning on using 1.5g daily, divided into two doses (1 before breakfast, and 1 before lunch), would this amount necessitate use of ALA or NAC? Is 1.5g even enough? I see some people use up to 8G!!!!! Good grief!

I figured I would post my own regimen (as far as supps/drugs go). Tell me what you think, if you don't mind...keep in mind that $ is going to be partly an issue from here on out.

When my centro, pyritinol, CEE, Bacopa, and N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine run out, I'm not going to continue use. I've tried Alpha-GPC and haven't noticed any difference between that and choline bitartrate (except requiring different doses), so, I'm going to continue with choline bit. as my sole choline source. I have about 80 tablets of selegiline 5mg left, but, I'm not going to use until I finish perfecting my stack (and I'm in the Army, so, urinalysis is an issue). Also, I'm seeing an endocrinologist next week due to low test and free test levels.

I have heard about alcar and choline being a good combo, but phosphotidal choline (not as lecithin) is superior to choline bitartrate for ACh synthesis. And for alcar use the HCl kind and nothing else and make sure you take it on an empty stomach w lots of water.

The above recommendation is remarkable. I am aware of only a single study (Shao L, Li QH, Tan Z. 2004) associating decreased telomere shortening with carnosine. How did you arrive at the dose of 1 gram?

Thanks in advance.

Based on the human research at Rush Medical Center in Chicago and LEF's dosing extrapolated from animal research. But i am slowly lowering my dose and increasing my N-Acetyl-L-Carnosine as time go by.

YOu forgot to add a way to bcome undepressed so someone has enough energy and money to do all these things

Piracetam makes me feel like crap, hardcore, one of the worst drugs ever

"Deprenyl 1 mg (w/f)Rasagiline 0.5 mg (w/f)"

why do you take both?? and how rich are you?

I continue to take deprenyl due to the massive research regarding its effects on aging and neuroprotection. However Rasagiline would appear to be more potent and has some unique effects. So i take both at the moment. Rich enough.

Now that you ask Hydergine is used as a drug in Europe for accident victims and can help reduce the risk of death. Aside from that buckle up.

hi, just out of interest, how much Hydergine would be a good subsistence dose to future-proof you for auto-accidents?

also, about your regime, could you tell me:why you don't take sulbutiamine (I heard it was really good),where you get your CDP-choline from (I just can't find bulk powdered source anywhere),and whether Advanced Research lithium orotate is a safe alternative to the AOR product (which I assume you take but which is quite expensive).

oh yes, im curious with all your knowledge and research what you think the primary cause of aging/brain aging is. A friend suggested cell membrane degredation, and so i was thinking PhosChol would be good for that.I've also identified methylcobalamin and theanine as seemingly fairly important for mental health (as well as I think CDP-choline).If you have time.Thanks.

Depends on your age.

Not really a very impressive cognitive compound and needs more studies in my opinion.

I do not list my sources online, you may pm me for this information.

That's a complicated answer covered thoroughly in my book. Centrophenoxine is one of the best compounds for maintaining healthy cell membranes.
